OG Schaefchen takes a Corvette C6 Z06 to the Arctic for a durability test in temperatures as low as –35°C. The trip puts the high-power V8 through extreme winter conditions, including icy roads, deep snow, and constant drifting on studded tires. Along the way, the group encounters mechanical challenges, frozen components, and difficulty keeping the engine at operating temperature in the intense cold.
The Corvette proves surprisingly capable on ice, delivering strong performance and controllable drifts, though it suffers minor damage after sliding off the road and requires quick repairs at a local workshop. Other vehicles on the trip also run into trouble, leading to recovery efforts with tractors and tools in the freezing conditions.
Despite the harsh environment and repeated setbacks, the Corvette completes the test, demonstrating impressive resilience in one of the coldest regions on Earth. The adventure combines endurance testing with high-speed winter driving, showcasing both the car’s toughness and the unpredictable nature of Arctic conditions.
